What a wonderful lady. My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Mary over the past ten years (it not more) in the healthcare field. She was such a caring and loving person and took pride in her work. She was a strong advocate for the ladies and would always grab my ear to let me know how I could improve the home the ladies lived in. She will be missed deeply.
Prayers from Andrew and Jennifer Austin
What an extraordinary person. Mary was a take charge person who dedicated her professional career to helping others. When Mary was working we knew that the
Residents would be well taken care of and the work would be completed before she left for the day. So many of us are better for having worked alongside of Mary. Strength and Prayers go out to the family.

Mary was an amazing woman, I was just driving around Madison last week wondering if she was still around and where she was.
We never did get to make our casino trip together.
